Reissue Of 1972 Album |
| | Description: | Gil Scott-Heronâ??s â??Pieces Of A Manâ? is one of the most important albums in the history of black American music. Although it didnâ??t set the charts alight, it stands as a masterpiece alongside contemporary works such as Marvin Gayeâ??s â??Whatâ??s Going Onâ?, Curtis Mayfieldâ??s debut LP, Funkadelic's â??Maggot Brainâ? and Isaac Hayesâ?? â??Shaftâ?. All were brilliant in their way, but lyrically Scott-Heron was on a different level from almost every other writer.
It was a landmark album with its bold, poetic lyrical content allied to progressive and melodic music, and it saw producer Bob Thiele help Gil and his musical partner Brian Jackson paint the picture they needed to get their message across. Thiele put Gil and Brian together with Ron Carter, Hubert Laws and Bernard Purdie, giving them the musical heft they wanted.
For many years the focus was on â??The Revolution Will Not Be Televisedâ??, which was included in the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2014, but this focus sometimes overshadowed the heights which Gil reached throughout the album. Today â??Home Is Where The Hatred Isâ?? and â??Lady Day And John Coltraneâ?? are also considered standards, whilst the albumâ??s title track is a prescient and heart-breaking warning about the way in which big business dehumanises its workers.
The album reached its landmark 50th year in 2021 and we decided that we would create this special edition to celebrate its incredible sound. The original master tape was taken to Frank Merritt at The Carvery in London, who cut it as a double disc 2 x 45 RPM record, in an all-analogue chain. The original record - especially side two - was long, and serving it up this way allowed the music a greater level of fidelity.
The release is packaged in the original albumâ??s gatefold sleeve. - REISSUE OF 1972 ALBUM2014 jazz classics series reissue of his 1972 album taken from the original master tapes & featuring three songs (two previously unreleased).Includes deluxe booklet with in-depth liner notes. He's best known for his classic spoken word poem/song "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". BGP."Pieces of a Man (Remaster + Bonus)" is an essential CD release by the legendary Gil Scott-Heron, brought to you by Ace Records. This remastered edition includes bonus tracks that further enrich this groundbreaking album, originally released in 1971. "Pieces of a Man" features iconic songs such as "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," which became an anthem for social change and remains influential today. The album blends jazz, soul, and spoken word with powerful lyrics addressing societal issues, making it a timeless masterpiece. Gil Scott-Heron was a pioneering poet, musician, and activist whose work laid the foundation for hip-hop and neo-soul genres. His thought-provoking music earned him critical acclaim and lasting respect within the industry.
